I agree -- I would love to know other GLO's rituals! Not for the sake of knowing what Chi O's ritual is or Zeta Tau Alpha's ritual or any of those things; I wouldn't care which ritual belongs to which group. I just think ritual in general is interesting, and would love to know more about it. I think that the rumors about fake rituals (as long as they're believable) are just as interesting as the real ones that GLOs actually have.

And for those of you complaining about ritual collectors, wptw is very right when he mentions that most of our founders were ritual collectors as well. Even if they didn't study other fraternities' or sororities' rituals, they definitely studied ancient Greek rituals, Masonic rituals, etc. I think that the writer of Chi Omega's ritual had studied rituals in depth before he wrote Chi O's, and I know many many other GLO ritual writers did the same thing.

I also agree that the ritual collectors aren't nearly as at fault as the people who allow their ritual to get out. The collectors aren't really doing anything wrong; they're only following the natural human instinct of curiosity, and it's not their fault if your GLO doesn't protect its secrets well enough. It's the people who "lose" the ritual books and robes and secrets that are really at fault here.
